AEM 5 bar map sensor, anyone know if this is legit?

[phunny]

Looking to upgrade to a AEM 5 bar and I've came across these and love the price but they do not look like the other AEM ones. Anyone know if it's a real AEM unit and not some Chinese knock-off?

Turns out it's legit, now the real question is what's the difference between the steal and brass units that justifies $100.

The sensor pictured in your ebay ad matches the one with my AEM boost gauge. My AEM EMS boost sensor is a different unit.

I had this discussion with AEM a while ago about the brass vs steel/silver color unit.

The brass is just an older model and should work just as well. I think they changed it up because there are a lot of pressure sensor like it, most likely the same model and appearance, for less.

Also look similar to prosports sensor:

I am sure you guys know, multiple companies use the same sensor sending units.

People have issues with the brass unit, using it to run speed density.

If you plan on using it for speed density, do not get the brass sensor. The resolution and reaction times are not adequate for speed density, but if you want to just log/display boost it'd be fine for that. If you want it for speed density, go with the stainless body.
